Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) reported better-than-expected first-quarter results, helped by strong demand for its cancer drugs. It also raised its revenue guidance for the full year, however kept its earnings outlook unchanged saying certain divestments it previously planned to make in 2018 might be pushed into next year.
